[International Engagement][Image Processing] NTU Professor Liang-Gee Chen Wins TWAS Prize in Engineering Science for His Contribution in Image Processing for Developing World (Chinese Version)
NTU Newsletter (Issue 1028) Liang-Gee CHEN, Distinguished Professor at the Department of Electrical Engineering and Deputy Dean of College of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, National Taiwan University, won the Academy of Sciences for the Developing World (TWAS) Prize in engineering science and was invited to give a lecture at the annual congress held in India on October 19, 2010. President of India Dr. Manmohan SINGH awarded Professor Liang-Gee CHEN a medal and the prize money in person to show the recognition to his academic achievemt and his contribution to the engineering science for the developing world.
TWAS, presently administrated by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), was founded in 1983 in Trieste, Italy, by a distinguished group of scientists from the South under the leadership of the late Nobel laureate Abdus SALAM of Pakistan. TWAS has about one thousand members from over ninety countries in fields of agriculture, biology, chemistry, geoscience, engineering science, mathematics, medicine and physics. Its main mission is to help the scientific research and application development in the developing world. One globally distinguished scholar whose contribution to the developing world is recognized in each of the eight fields is selected annually, and the selected will be awarded with prize or as the TWAS academician. The TWAS recognition not only indicates the scholar's personal academic achievement but also an ultimate concern for the caring and scientific support for the developing world.
TWAS Annual Congress 2010 was held between October 19 and 22 in Hyderabad, India. The city has a population of about six million and is the second IT center in India, next to Bangalore. Several science parks are located in the city, and several international IT companies set R&D centers here, including Google and Microsoft. Professor Liang-Gee CHEN,the awarded scholar 2009 in engineering science, was invited to receive the prize and to give a lecture in the congress. The other members of Taiwan delegation include Academician Tuan-Hua David HO, Distinguished Research Fellow Su-May YU at Institute of Molecular Biology, Academia Sinica, Professor Reuben Jih-Ru HWU at National Tsing Hua University, Huey-Lang YANG, Distinguished Professor at the Institute of Biotechnology and Director of Center of Bioscience and Biotechnology, National Cheng Kung University (2009 TWAS Winner in the agricultural sciences).
Professor Liang-Gee CHEN's lecture talks about the technological advance of the digital image and relevant image signal processing. The advance from analogical image technology to digital image technology is a great improvement in science and technology, greatly enhancing the commoditization of the image realtime transmission that is nowadays already very widespread. Such a technology also plays a critical role in the recent Chile mine rescue. The camera used to communicate the miners and the rescuers at the ground surface and to monitor the status of the rescued in “Phoenix” is developed and produced by one of Professor Liang-Gee CHEN's students.
The teams led by Professor Liang-Gee CHEN have made several world records. The globally first H.264 high definition video encoder chip was developed by him and his students, awarded as the IEEE Best Paper. Chair of TWAS Professor J. PALIS praises in person in the invitation letter to Professor Liang-Gee CHEN for his contribution of the development applying the complicated digital image calculations to digital multi-media chips with high output value, and his technological transference of the techniques to the industries so that the functions including digital picture-taking, filming, video communications, high definition video applications etc. can be realized and commoditized in personal mobile communication devices.
